  1. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    Reactions to this game have been interesting to read through. You would swear Sheffield United we’re not factually one of the worst teams the PL has ever seen judging by the extrapolation points and some of the overly positive comments, however. As a fanbase, we’re all over the place, clinging...

    This concerns me more than anything else about ten Hag potentially staying. These are vital years of development, and the lad will not get any education on the vital tenets and principles of what he is if this nonsense persists. From the sheer POV of his excellence, he needs to be brought up...

  4. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    At least I can get some laughs from this thread. Thanks.
  5. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    We're legitimately in a back and forth contest with the worst team in the league. I don't even want to use the 'don't laugh, you'll cry' line; think my emotions are dead by now.
  6. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    We've actually had rest possession; our players won't be dead on their feet inside 70min for the first time in I don't know how long.
  7. 69 Injuries vs 115 Charges | FA Cup Final Build-up Thread

    You’d never know if it wasn’t displayed in cold, hard fact like this. Truly abysmal.
  8. Where has this dearth of top quality managers come from, and how long will it last?

    At with the old, in with the new… but this cycle is narrower than ever; Xabi Alonso and Thiago Motta appear to be the only ones generating the kind of storm that leads one to believe they could go on to peer the dying embers of the last cycle, but if like is for like, we’re missing several...

    Beautiful assist.
  11. Is Pep the greatest manager of all time?

    Adversity (conditions whilst at a club) Jeopardy (consequence for bad purchases) Reinvention (some are unable to reinvent once 'found out' others are never found out due to their capacity to adapt) The weighting is a sticking point because the underdog aspect or the upcoming great arc is World...
  12. Xavi (Spanish Lego Pep) | Barca manager - and will be next season

    He represents the epitome of total game control on the pitch; as a manager, he has relatively little control, can imagine it drives him absolutely insane.
  13. Is Pep the greatest manager of all time?

    The resources at your disposal are absolutely vital in assessment - if you have an excellent, world beating squad, and you're of the calibre to be talked about in all-time regard, assessment parameters adjust by default. There's relief that there was no double-treble, because it propels to...
  14. Is Pep the greatest manager of all time?

    Exactly. It's not some ringing endorsement, that's for sure. With those advantages, it's exactly what's supposed to happen, and yet in Europe, they aren't pulling up trees.
  15. Is Pep the greatest manager of all time?

    There are so many what ifs revolving around Pep because of his unique circumstances that really caveat his placing in an otherwise uniform and organic process. Given his resources, he has massively underperformed, because with the advantages he has always had, league competition becomes a broken...
